'Hanuman God of Unmarried': Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's Remarks Trigger BJP, BRS Backlash

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has ignited a major political controversy after allegedly mocking Hindu deities and questioning the multiplicity of gods. Speaking at an event, Reddy remarked that 'Hanuman is the god of the unmarried' and claimed there are separate gods for those who 'marry twice' or offer 'alcohol and chicken'. The comments have drawn sharp condemnation from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), who accused the Congress leader of insulting Hindu sentiments to appease a specific vote bank. The opposition has demanded an unconditional apology, calling the remarks a deliberate attempt to hurt religious beliefs.
